Anthropic engineers on average ship 8x as much code per quarter

Are they making 8x more features or the same amount just with more code?

So, roughly 16 years ago I bought a tiny flat. Renting tit for that long would already be more expensive than all the costs of ownership, even assuming that renting cost was constant (it TRIPLED). As a bonus, the flat is worth more than three times of what it was.

So in total, I've paid 1.5x for a flat worth x and now it's worth 3x and I don't have to pay the rent!

I'm not saying the article's author it wrong, just that your mileage might vary.

What are the options?

Feels like a combination of writing very detailed task descriptions and reviewing junior devs. It's horrible. I very much hope this won't be my job.

13,883 civilians died in Ukraine as a result of Russian invasion between 24 Feb. 2022 and 31 July 2025 according to United Nations. It's really easy to Google it.

Sure it would be best to build the tunnels away from civilian infrastructure but there's barely any away-from-civilian-infrastructure places in the Gaza Strip.

What would be even better, IMHO, is if Israel just stopped murdering Gazans.

"It is designed for the early detection of amyloid, a protein that can build up in the brain and is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s"

Seems like they did not read the news (for a year or two) or hope their clients didn't.

500 USD/month it's enough to survive in Poland anymore. Minimum monthly wage is $1173 before taxes or $883 after taxes and that's not enough to make a living if you have to rent.

I don't see the point. In the end it's always the consumer who wants to buy stuff from the companies.

It's as meaningless as blaming China for high emissions. Yes, the country is the number one CO2 producer, so what? What if we divide China into two or three smaller countries? Whould that make China drop from the first place? Yes. Would that actually change anything? No.

It's the consumer who decides to buy stuff they crave but don't actually need. You want a new laptop/phone/car/whatever because the old one is missing a single feature? Then take responsibility for your actions and don't blame companies that are just doing what you paid them to do.

I love reading while I'm on a noisy train. I have difficulty understanding speech if it's noisy and/or several people talk at the same time so other passengers talking to each other or on their phone don't bother me most of the time. But I can clearly see that I'm loosing focus if the train stops for more than a minute or two. I then start hearing people's conversations like they just started talking at the same moment or, if there's nobody else or everyone is totally quiet, my own thoughts and immediately loose focus.

Oh, an yes - I was diagnosed with ADHD like 15 years ago while in early twenties

This is awesome. Please create more of this!

What if a bug eats a piece of a tree and then gets eaten by a bird? Wouldn't that be harmful to the bird?

This could go very wrong if that would kill predators that feed on bugs that feed on trees

Yeah, but the questions were not about whether one has symptoms or struggles with some:

"I have a concentration and/or memory disorder (e.g. ADHD)"

"I have autism / an autism spectrum disorder (e.g. Asperger's)"

Thank God I was born in a poor socialist country and I don't have to think about obvious stuff like my days off

Edit: sorry if that sounded offending but I can't wrap my head around the fact that people in US have problems of this kind
